Synopsis for the Film
Film: Waterlands
Country: UK
Director: RSPB Film Unit
Duration: 50 min
Category: Waterscapes
Filmed over three years by the RSPB's award-winning film unit, Waterlands offers a rare view into the lives of thousands of birds, mammals and insects that make their home in the reed-beds, salt-marshes and flower-rich wet meadows of the UK. Panoramic vistas of flocking wading birds reveal the vast extent of wetland needed for the species to survive.
Intimate footage of the rarely-seen bittern chick and complex dragonfly life cycle offers remarkable insight into a delicately balanced eco-system that we need to protect- or risk losing forever.
